Honorarium

The Wimbledon Book Club is a reading group that meets in Wimbledon, SW19 Merton South West London, on the first and third Mondays of the month.

We are a friendly bunch in our 20's, 30 (and the young at heart) who enjoy an "occasional" drink while discussing contemporary fiction paperbacks.We are very easy to get toif you live in Wimbledon, Wimbledon Village, Putney, Southfields, Raynes Park, Balham, Tooting, Morden, New Malden, Sutton or Mitcham :)

We all know most Bookclubs tend to read the same things don't we? 'The Help' or 'Eat, Prey, Love Marketing Opportunity™' or 'The Da V¡nc¡ Cod'. Not us. No Way! Being an adventurous bunch we often like to read something different. This could be Romantic Fiction, Literary Classics, Pulp Fiction, Crime Fiction, Current Affairs, Science Fiction or anything else that helps us become 'Well Read'.

Except chicklit. We don't read chicklit.

Unlike some Bookclubs we are INDEPENDENT, don't have our books chosen by a Book Shop, marketing department, TV Chat Show, publisher or any other commercial interest. Our book choice's are always about having a good read and a good nights discussion, not sales.
